David, very well laid outand educational. Yes, I do follow your explanations very good! Thanks

As to working withcords and line, I replace fishing rod line guides and make my own Deep sea Rods fromsolid Black Glass Blanks. Years ago (30yrs) I use to make my own Cast Nets out of Nylon Line, now they make themwithMonofilament.

Now I will research and listen to you guys and learn about X-bow strings!
